As he flicked the switch, bright light came alive in the room, illuminating the spotless room. The utensils on the shelves glared in the light and the white walls appeared to be emitting the light themselves. But he was unfazed as he swept across the room. The lab was a comfortable space for him, it was where he had found a use for himself. And what a noble role he was playing. 

He shouldered his white lab cloak and pulled white gloves over his paws. Today was a rare chance to get a look at his subject study in detail.

He pushed the door open with his shoulder into a smaller room. His assistant looked up in respect then went back to her data scroll, looking over some numbers before proceeding.

"Subjects 304-9b and 304-11d have been acquired. It looks like they're not fully grown yet, but they should be ready for a partial analysis. Mass to saturation ratios look very promising."

"Excellent. Bring 11d to the soundproof lab, will you? I will join you there shortly."

His assistance nodded and hurried off, and Ecrin looked over the test tubes in the corner, some of which were sizzling. It had been a while since a d cell specimen was found. The sky dragon poured a bit of a green solution into a beaker, adding a small amount of crushed black crystal and holding it carefully away from himself. He knew the consequences of the mixture on scales well.
He put a stopper on the beaker and strode out of the room, thoughts focused on the task at hand as he descended the staircase. The soundproof room was to his right, and, with the door propped open, one could hear the strained and muffled sounds of 11d. 

It was a female, with scale colors almost identical to his own. It's legs had been strapped to the chair it was chained to, and the wings had been sheared off.

Ecrin gently set down the beaker and looked up at her. "Congratulations. What a wonderful part you will play in the cleansing of our kingdoms." A rehearsed line that didn't carry any other emotion besides pride. The door was closed, and with that, the experiment began.

Just an idea I had, but I know it's considerably darker than most of my other stories.  Would any of you be interested in me continuing it?
